+ Show Spoiler [Predictions] +This is one of the more exciting groups for the OSL so far. In the first match, EffOrt is finally seeming to take the scepter from Ma Jaeyun as the top Zerg for CJ Entus, while RuBy seems revitalized after announcing his departure for Air Force ACE. RuBy also played exceptionally well last season in the Proleague, supporting Sea in helping carry MBC. His play fell off this season, and he announced his departure for ACE, which begins in 3 days. However, he seems to have gotten a good grasp on his TvZ play again, beating n.Die_soo and HoeJJa in the MST for the Avalon MSL. However, EffOrt has shown that he can beat the absolute best in straight up games, and RuBy should be scared of this. Kim Jungwu is sitting at a clean cut 60% overall winning rate, losing only 3 of his last 14. The set should go to three, but EffOrt is clearly the stronger choice here. Final Call:  EffOrt 2:1  RuByThe second set of the night puts Tushin up against one of his two lesser matchups. His ZvT has looked above average in recent memory, but his ZvZ has been atrocious. His overall play has been similar to his ZvT, where he's dropping random games against better players with the occasional upset. However, his ZvZ has been a failing point since last August. If July meets up with EffOrt, he can kiss his hopes goodbye. Final Call: EffOrt 2: 1 JulyPoll: Who do you think will win set 1?( Vote): EffOrt (CJ) ( Vote): RuBy (ACE) Poll: Who are you rooting for set 1?( Vote): EffOrt (CJ) ( Vote): RuBy (ACE) Poll: Who do you think will win set 2?( Vote): EffOrt (CJ) ( Vote): RuBy (ACE) ( Vote): July (STX) Poll: Who are you rooting for in set 2?( Vote): EffOrt (CJ) ( Vote): RuBy (ACE) ( Vote): July (STX) Poll: Will Kespa intervene tonight?( Vote): Yes ( Vote): No

Gonna be 6/6 tonight :D
I'm slowly coming up with ideas to make these better, and I want to incorporate them when I start doing Round of 16 etc.
Also, I won't fall asleep at the keys this time, promise!
|
Effort is finally realizing his potential- he's finally taking games off S-class players and cruising to the early stages of the individual leagues. I think he can still be one class higher.
Anyways, his current form should be able to clean up tonight; I'm interested to see what he has prepared for Ruby's TvP strategies.

Indeed, but he hasn't played like it. It's always felt like he's been stuck in sAviOr's shadow until recently.

Thats just not true. Saviors shadow at this point is laughable even kwanro far outshines him.

Who cares about Effort? It's all about bringin back old school dominance. Julyzerg ftw!
|
Effort is utter crap compared to savior, he's just lucky savior is still in a minor slump despite it being 2009..
I'll just await 2010... >.<
|
EffOrt is one of those players who wins when he's supposed to win and loses when he's supposed to lose.
Reminds me of a young Iris..
|
I can only assume the reason that July hasn't been in PL for 3 weeks now is that he has been practicing for his OSL group.
|
On paper, EffOrt is by far the favorite here, we know that.
The only thing I see working for RuBy is he gets two TvZ Bo3s, which is far and away his best matchup.
The only thing I see working for July is his 14 OSL appearances.

Yeah, I can't even remember the last time Ruby played a TvZ like TvP and even admitted that the game(s) was boring.

I'm hoping that July can make it through this group, I mean I like EffOrt too but July is one of the main reasons that I'm an STX fan. As much as I want him to take it though I expect EffOrt will be the one to advance. He should easily take RuBy (who probably won't even be trying all that hard since he would be unable to play in the OSL should he advance anyway) and I have no faith in July's ZvZ. He may be awesome ZvP and ok ZvT but his ZvZ is terrible.

I'm expecting EffOrt to simply cruise through this group. We haven't heard a peep from July at STX recently.

what the hell are you guys talking about julys zvz for?
You do realize that over the last hmm I don't know 5 years he randomly shows up in the matchup and rapes any zerg in the world right?
Effort imo is top three zergs right now for sure, but julyzerg at all times should be given a 50% chance against any zerg who isn't the number 1 or 2 zerg. He has earned those stats kiddo's and on any given day is more then capable of beating every zerg or protoss (except jaedong/luxury/bisu).
That said Effort fighting. I rather see zvz then watch julyzerg play zvt =(. He always fails so hard.

Julys ZvZ past half year as sucked. In the past I would have given him more than 50% chance of winning this but not now. Effort will own him

That is the thing with the old pro's that are still amazing , unlike the savioresque pro's.
Julyzerg always has the potential to play amazingly his stats are where they are after years and years of averaging them out. If they say over 50%, I believe it , unless like I said , it is the number 1 or 2 most dominate player =).

Too bad July will have to play T or Z, most likely dropping the games and not qualifying. I want to see his ZvP.

His last ZvT's actually don't look to bad?

His winrate on iccup at the A+ level has been 50/50 zvz and over 60% zvt, and there aren't too many A+ gamers who aren't top pro gamers.
I have faith he will beat ruby if he faces him.

His ZvP is amazing to watch. Hes so damn good at that match up and he plays the match up in a very different way than most Zergs. really enjoy watching it

Well probably because if he qualifies for the Round of 16 then goes to basic, by the time this OSL ends (mid-July) and he they go for offlines, he'll be out and they'll do a BackHo style setup where he'll get seeded into the Round of 36 again as a "lower player" who has to play 2 sets, but it's still easier than trying to whack through the offlines, where random shit can happen.

Perfect way to keep me up studying for midterms. GO CJ Effort!

I was thinking the same thing. He can play in OSL but not MSL? Strange.

Thanks for streaming this!
|
As far as I know the "basic training" in the Korean military is ~6 weeks. Maybe he'd be able to play OSL group stage matches after his basic training is over. The MSL on the other hand is starting in 2 weeks and he wouldn't be able to make it for those matches.

haha 1 drone beating 2 scvs
|
A beyond sick display of vulture micro right there. Felt bad for effort

Anybody LR'ing? I'd appreciate it immensely.

He starts basic in 3 days, goes for 7 weeks.
Group selection is like, June 24th.
If he qualifies for Round of 16, he won't be able to play, but he'll be back for next OSL's Ro36.
Game related - RuBy's one vultures fucking shit up. EffOrt damaging the neutral CC :o

Effort 3 bases to 2, but vulture harass denies some drones at the 3rd for a little while,
effort damaging the center CC and building Defiler den, I think he's plannign some sort of swarm+
infested combo
|
Defilers are out for Effort, Vessel is out for Ruby, Ruby pushing out and killing the infested CC
|
Infested CC! :D :D :D
Oh shit he almost loses it... probably not going to be able to use it
It dies
|
Map holyworld, Ruby opened quick fact into expo with a bunker then transfered into 2 rax mnm play. Effort tried to go for sneak early lurks but the scanners/a turret and 1 bunker detered him from trying anything other than contain.
Ruby got a shit load of drone kills with a remarkly small number of vulture. Great micro and game sense.Effort infests the center cc and is preapring to break out of a 10 or so lurk contain. He does! for now. Defiler is out though! T army advancing...this will all come down to wether or not effort has beyong godly micro/multitasking
|
Ruby pushes out and at the same time effort caputres the center CC.
RUBY SPOTS THE INFESTED CC AND IS ABOUT TO TAKE IT DOWN
EFFORT DESPERATELY TRIES TO DEFEND, but the CC goes down,
effort snipes a vessel though
|
CC goes down, damm you Ruby
|
|
|
RuBy's working on EffOrt's 3rd.
|
ruby is going for effort's third and effort threatens backstab but ruby keeps pushing
attack on the 3rd is swamred and delayed but effort probably cant hold it
efforts backstab is thwarted with small loses...
3rd hatch go down..
what the hell is effort DOING
|
|
|
Ruby is pressing hard on Effort's 4th top left, Hatch down, lots of workers dead.

|
BIG CLASH in the middle
both sides take losses but you feel like Ruby is in control here
|
MASSIVE plague on every single mnm attacking efforts nat and everything dies
|
ruby runs his entire reinforcements into 4 lurkers and loses everything,
effort is back in this
|
PLAGUUUUUUUUUUUUU And Ruby's force that was attacking Effort's nat is wiped out.

|
If effort can hold his 3rd fo ra while he will win,
Ruby is wasting units everywhere after that tremendous advantage..
this is how you throw away a game
|
Effort counter-pressing hard into Ruby's nat, re-building his 4th, this isn't yet desipte Effort being low on forces.
|
EffOrt turning this around.
|
|
|
Looks like even with an advantage Ruby will lose to effort do to being the weaker player ....
|
SwarmLurk push on rubys nat and he is losing everything while killing very little.
efforts defiler control has saved him in this game
Ruby's nat CC will be forced to lift soon,
oh god as im typing all i can hear are the screams of countless MNM dieing

effort pulls through with a good push into ruby's CC and Ruby's absolutely shocking control after taking out Effort's 3rd.
Long story short: Ruby starts off well, should have won, completely foiled effort's strategy, and then he suicides his whole army and Effort is like 'ok I will kill you then' and he does

So time for a random mini story:
So Wednesday if you were around, you know I disappeared at the end of the match and the OP didn't get updated until about 5 or 6 hours later. I explained in the thread I had fallen asleep at the keys. So I didn't want that to happen tonight, so I went to bed around midnight and set an alarm for 4:30. The 4:30 alarm went off.. but I was disoriented and didn't remember why I set it so I rolled back over to sleep. Woke up again at 5:26 like "Uhh.. OH SHIT!"
Plan almost backfired on me

He split his army, letting Effort flank it. That army was dead once he couldnt reinforce it.

No..you're supposed to move your flanked army back, with your reenforcements comming out and pincer the lurks that flanked you. Use matrix if necessary Or if you have time , like ruby did...you could siege and irradiate.

Ruby's real mistake was not getting a quick second port against fast hive and losing vessels. His vessel count was way too low.

Nerves man . Have you seen his game against Jaedong on Katrina ?

They reshowed the critical moment after Ruby's army got plagued/killed at Effort's nat and he tried to Boxer micro vs. 6 lurkers and got owned losing map control and the game.
|
I mean... it's pretty obvious Ruby got very cocky that game.
|
There is not a shadow of a doubt that EffOrt was taught defiler play by the Maestro himself. His Dark Swarms were absolutely perfect.
Actually the whole game reminds me of the old Savior : "Savior is pressed" "Savior loses an expansion" "OMG! Savior is about lo lose! "Savior pushes out wth DS/Lurk" "Savior owning the whole Terran army" "OMG!?! How did Savior come back from this?" "GG. Savior wins".
Congrats EffOrt. My LB is on you

He didnt lose to the flank. It was the plague that did it. That army was dead but he had another army right in his nat. If he sent that army to the center and didnt attack effort's lurks he wouldn't have lost like that.

Effort somewhat mismicros his mutas and takes far more turret hits then needed, no damage so far, Ruby's defense looks pretty tight, although he built a couple more cannons than was mayb eneeded, no casualties on either side so far, Efforts 3rd is up and mining
|
I heard the commentators say something about SKterran?
|
No losses for Effort yet but his micro is failing him,
queen nest up, hive will come soon, looks like a speedy 3 hatch hive play
RUBY MOVING OUT
|
effort is doing no damage at all;
i think efforts going 2 hatch muta crazy zerg ultra rush.
|
Korea (South)3086 Posts
They were saying that Ruby sticks more to the classic SK Terran style opposed to the modern TVZ play like Leta's where he likes to opt for 2 port play.
|
this timing push could be an epic su... no ruby stops and hangs around somewhere for no reason giving effort enough time to morph 6/7 sunks
ruby wandering around the map
|
2 SCVs stuck between minerals and 2 turrets : /
|
Korea (South)3086 Posts
Wow Effort with 7 sunkens guarding his natural.
|
Ruby backs off and allows effort time to play with 3 hatch gas, I don't think this will play out well for him

effort with 9 sunks now, but ruby has a pretty large mnm/2tank force, effort picking off lone marines with mutas but sieging has started
this is it, effort needs to deflect this push
|
Effort needs to snipe the tanks or else ...
|
wow, thats a lot of guardians, 3 starports from Ruby, wraiths out soon
|
|
|
Lmao Effort has 10 sunkens at his natural.
|
|
|
effort morphing 10? guards, vessels are not out yet this will block the rush easy
|
6/9 sunkens knocked out but guards morph in time to save the day,
|
SUNKEN BREEEEAK, BUT EFFORT'S GUARDIANS JUST FINISHED MORPHING.
RUBY BACKS OFF

Looks like Ruby is researching cloak at his control tower for wraiths to counter guardians.

ruby opts to go straight for wraiths instead of vessels considering the amount of guardians

LOL yeah. Again Ruby suicides a large number of MnM's into the Natural where it's guarded by like 10 sunkens and 5 guardians.

ruby pushes out again, this is probably his last push of the game, he needs to break the 3rd/4th or he's dead

ultras are out, ruby hasnt nearly enough vessels to do anything

ultra/guardian/defiler for Effort

Ruby showing pointless single-wraith micro on a zergling before being chased away by scourge. And defiler mound is up and cows are now out.
|
Looks like Ruby is going to go for dropship heavy play, SKTerran style. Ultralisks are already out for Effort.
|
Guardian/ultra combo beats archon reaver BTW .

ruby tries a cute but useless bunker at the zergs 4th,
3:1 cows are ravaging the mbm force, but ruby still has a decent.... oh wait... no... that's a lot of cows...

rubys vessel count is starting to grow but he loses one or two needlessly, his mnm force obliterates the guardians that were pushin on to the nat but...
uh...
i cant tell whats happening theres a lot of mnm and a lot of cows and a lot of blood
RUBYS MNM IS ACTUALLY KICKING ASS
but it's all in vain if he cant secure a 3rd

omg i really miss this ZvT =D

Effort should get plague ASAP and just macro up cows.
|
Effort needs to counter instead of trying to save his 4th...
|
Effort on 6 bases with one about to die..
Ruby just started his 3rd I think, mining just started, 5 v 3 bases
4:2 cows but Ruby is doing a good job of keeping his mnm army intact, there are no lurkers for him to suicide into
|

plague on the MNM, not amazing but not bad,
PUSH ON RUBYS NAT
COWSWARM
EPIC PLAGUES OMG EVERYTHING IS MELTING
ruby BARELY holds this off
|
Korea (South)3086 Posts
Oh wow, swarm into the natural and plague going off. Cows causing a shit storm.
|
effort expands just outside Rubys nat : D
but it dies
another plague on ruby's mnm hits all the vessels too
this is a pretty good ZvT but you feel like it's just slipping away from Ruby
|
HOLY
effort got a huge plague off
|
oh jesus another plague hits every single mnm in rubys army
these plagues are devastating

Clutch swarm by Effort, saves defiler at 2-3 hp literally.

Ruby refuses to give up, and credit to him he has been defending pretty excellently, showing some good micro, but effort is just rolling in gas,

Ruby is actually very good :|
|
this is turning into a good game
|
Ruby is like that wig in that episode of the simpsons who keeps getting shot but refuses to die
|
wtf.. ruby is so dead but yet he's not....
|
Effort is starting to play sloppy, suicides a sizeable ultra/ling force into marines without swarm
|
Korea (South)3086 Posts
I think irradiated cows do more damage to the MnM's than to the cow itself.
|
ruby is mining from one base now, he's trying a sneaky tank drop on the high ground but it honestly cant change anything
effort builds a hatcher on the other side of the mineral patch Ruby is mining from : D
|
RUBY IS BREAKING EFFORTS 12 EXPANSION,
holy damn he's actually got a ... slight... slight chance
|
wait no everything dies, except the vessels
effort you need to kill the vessels,
|
Effort need a lot of gas o he is going to lose... such a good game

it's a little sloppy at times but plenty of things die

RUBY is just clawing his way back into this ever so gradually,
effort cant seem to keep an ultra force of more then 3/4 units alive

RUBY IS TAKING THE GAME BAAACK! EFFORT BEING SUPER SLOPPY WITH HIS EXPO DRONES!

damn this game is confusing

Korea (South)3086 Posts
I seriously can't tell who's winning anymore lmfao.
|
YES, effort takes out 3/4 of the vessel fleet with good scourge cloning,
now ruby is in major trouble
he has basically lost the 12 expansion due to sunkens on his SCVs
|
i think effort won
|
Ruby's almost out of money - minerals coming in very slowly now. This great game should be over soon.
|
Korea (South)3086 Posts
EffOrt should've controlled vessel count better, earlier on in the game.

Effort stops the tank harass on his exp,

That was a pretty intense TVZ. More classic style.

Wow, epic almost-comeback from Ruby.
but essentially, although it looked like Ruby was coming back,
effort was still laughingly ahead most of the game, he just had sloppy control.
Ruby only actually killed 1 or 2 expansions

Effort almost lost with 8 bases.

In both games Ruby had a slight advantage mid game but his slow response in reinforcement just took away that advantage. And he was simply losing gradually the game after Effort got defilers

Effort must be quite tired now, July has a good chance of winning :o

Effort is 18-2 in his last 20. I think it just got to a point in the game where he felt he could waste units and not care about it. I remember some savior games where he forgot adrenal...

I actually like effort's ZvT over Jaedong's he's less aggressive and plays a lot more solid and safe hive-tech game instead of relying on pure muta micro, granted that jaedong's muta micro is insanely good. yeah agreed. savior style = management style which I love seeing instead of pure micro.
Maybe, but these games really couldn't be a good indication of that. The first game, he went for a lurker opening, which is generally passive as it stalls for defilers. And the second game, many zergs due a similar strategy of stalling until guardians or ultralisks on Outsider. Effort hasn't developed a distinctive style besides being good imo.

Man I just saw that 2nd game between Ruby and Effort, that was exciting! I like em both, but the more CJ players go through, the merrier.
And I can't imagine Ruby saluting with his left hand to be anything but a stupid mistake, it's not like he's gonna aim to piss off his future team mates. Can't see why one would get their pants in a twist over this.
